I think the one weak point for me is that the ruins appear to be sitting in the middle of a super volcano, which makes the smaller, elevated peak in the background kind of strange and unnatural. Of course, I'm a lover of volcanoes, so do take the criticism with a grain of salt. I still love this piece.

I am in the process of writing a fantasy epic featuring, at some point, the ruins of an ancient god situated near a great volcanic 'sea'. but just hadn't fully visualized it in my mind. I frequently look for fantasy landscape for inspiration, but nothing was quite that level of brimstone and ancient elegance . . . then I came upon this piece of yours, and could instantly better visualize such a place.

So, wanted you to know, from one writer to one artist, that you inspired me.

Thank you for this dramatic and painstaking image, you have quite a talent, and if you are playing with 'moods' you certainly created one here. Brava!
